总部位于伦敦的初创公司 VitVio 正将其 AI 系统引入墨西哥湾沿岸私立医院 Hospital Español de Veracruz（韦拉克鲁斯西班牙医院）的每一间手术室。这是该公司在拉丁美洲的首笔交易。
London-based startup VitVio is bringing its AI system to every operating room at Hospital Español de Veracruz, a private hospital on Mexico’s Gulf coast. It is the company’s first deal in Latin America.
该系统名为 Vetro，利用摄像头和传感器创建手术室的实时 3D 模型，显示室内的人员、设备和活动。AI 智能体利用这些信息帮助管理围绕手术的各项工作，从追踪器械到发现延误。
The system, called Vetro, uses cameras and sensors to create a live 3D model of an operating room, showing the people, equipment, and activity inside. AI agents use that information to help manage the work that happens around surgery, from tracking instruments to spotting delays.
该系统能标记瓶颈、帮助在患者之间协调人员、监控工具使用情况，旨在减少浪费、让手术室运行更高效。据公司介绍，它还能在手术进行时生成手术记录。
The system can flag bottlenecks, help coordinate staff between patients, and monitor which tools are used, with the aim of reducing waste and making operating rooms run more efficiently. It can also generate operative notes while a procedure is underway, according to the company.
其理念是让医生和护士从手术周边的行政事务中解脱出来，腾出更多时间给患者，并帮助医院在排程中安排更多手术。
The idea is to free doctors and nurses from some of the administrative work around surgery, giving them more time for patients and helping hospitals fit more procedures into their schedules.
VitVio 表示，Vetro 追踪的是病例、手术阶段和设备，而非个人，并设计为从数据中剥离个人详细信息。
VitVio says Vetro tracks cases, surgical stages and equipment rather than individual people, and is designed to strip personal details from the data.
Hospital Español de Veracruz 首席执行官 Antonio Ramos De-la Medina 博士说：“墨西哥正在用 AI 实现医院现代化，我们想要引领这一进程。”
“Mexico is modernising its hospitals with AI, and we want to lead that,” said Dr Antonio Ramos De-la Medina, chief executive of Hospital Español de Veracruz.
该医院隶属于 Grupo Hospital Español（西班牙医院集团）。VitVio 称，该协议最终可能将 Vetro 引入该集团旗下七家医院的多达 60 间手术室。
The hospital is part of Grupo Hospital Español. VitVio said the agreement could eventually bring Vetro to as many as 60 operating theatres across seven of the group’s hospitals.
据 Mundo Ejecutivo 报道，Hospital Español de Veracruz 在 2025 年 Funsalud 排名中位列墨西哥前五名中小型私立医院。
Hospital Español de Veracruz ranked among Mexico’s top five small and medium-sized private hospitals in the 2025 Funsalud ranking, Mundo Ejecutivo reported.
VitVio 成立于 2024 年，创始人包括首席执行官 Thomas Knox、首席技术官 Peter Rennert、首席运营官 Maks Kozarzewski 和首席产品官 Aleks Pajewski。迄今已融资 1000 万美元，其中包括 2025 年 10 月由 Bek Ventures 领投的 800 万美元种子轮融资。
VitVio was founded in 2024 by chief executive Thomas Knox, chief technology officer Peter Rennert, chief operating officer Maks Kozarzewski and chief product officer Aleks Pajewski. It has raised $10m to date, including an $8m seed round led by Bek Ventures in October 2025.
墨西哥是这家初创企业国际扩张的最新一步。本月初，VitVio 开始在波兰格但斯克的一家医院部署 Vetro，标志着其在波兰的首次落地。
Mexico is the latest step in the startup’s international expansion. Earlier this month, VitVio began installing Vetro at a hospital in Gdańsk, marking its first deployment in Poland.
该公司还与纽约的专科医院以及英格兰的 NHS 医院合作，其中包括伯明翰皇家骨科医院。
The company also works with specialist hospitals in New York and NHS hospitals in England, including the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham.
但在手术室内安装摄像头，引发了关于员工监控以及医院如何处理所产生数据的疑问。
But putting cameras inside operating theatres raises questions about staff surveillance and how hospitals handle the resulting data.
VitVio 未披露保留这些数据的时长，也未说明数据存储地点。其关于移除个人详细信息的保证，本身并不能回应上述问题。
VitVio has not disclosed how long it retains that data or where it is stored. Its assurances about removing personal details do not, on their own, answer those questions.
AI 在医疗领域的应用已超越手术室，涵盖医院管理到药物试验管理等多个环节。
AI is finding uses across healthcare beyond the operating room, from hospital administration to the management of drug trials.
对 VitVio 而言，挑战在于证明对手术周边活动的监控能提高医院效率，而不产生新的隐私担忧。
For VitVio, the challenge is to show that monitoring the activity around surgery can make hospitals more efficient without creating new concerns about privacy.
“他们的决心让我们从洽谈到上线仅用了不到三个月，”Knox 谈到该医院团队时说。
“Their conviction took us from that conversation to go-live in under three months,” Knox said of the hospital’s team.
